System: Master Your Life

Chapter 873 217: Game Design (Career)_3

"Where are the exam books?"

Xu Lin asked her.

"This whole stack."

"Okay."

Next, Classmate Rong watched as Xu Lin picked up a book and flipped through it for about half a minute, then moved on to the next one, and the one after that, until he finished all eight books in less than ten minutes.

"Did you finish reading them?"

Classmate Rong was surprised.

"What else would it be?"

Xu Lin: "I'll first go to the gaming room to take care of some things. If you feel like going out for dinner tonight, just let me know."

"You have to keep me company tonight, we haven't seen each other in over a month!"

"Okay."

"I'll continue reviewing!"

Saying this, Rong Xiyan started working on practice tests again.

Xu Lin didn't disturb her.

She was in the room reviewing.

Meanwhile, Xu Lin was busy in the gaming room next door, continuing the work from last night.

A large-scale game, also known as a major production, is not something easily accomplished.

His previous "Man's Guide to Reversing Fortune," was just something he did without much thought, especially not expecting it to become a hit.

This time, Xu Lin was going to up the intensity.

Games, much like novels involving supernatural powers.

At this point, the setting must include the worldview (world system, power systems, factions, etc.), characters, storylines, and so forth, with all these elements intricately interacting with each other.

Throughout the afternoon, Xu Lin worked on these settings, establishing the general framework of the game.

A single-player game that can be played online.

Also, this time, Xu Lin wouldn't be selling it on Steam.

Because on someone else's platform, he'd have to share profits with foreigners.

Steam is a foreign platform.

Nor would Xu Lin log on domestic platforms like wegame.

So earlier, Xu Lin had created his own gaming platform, a kind of launcher, which currently hosts "Man's Guide to Reversing Fortune."

Similar to NetEase Games, which besides being available on Steam, also has its own platform.

For the new game, Xu Lin plans to be completely independent, so apart from taxes, all the profits would be his.

Time passed, and it was a bit past five.

Rong Xiyan finished her afternoon study session and came over to the gaming room door, knocking politely.

This girl was still very polite, preferring to knock rather than barging in directly.

"Are you still busy?"

She asked.

"Not busy anymore."

"Then let's go have dinner and watch a movie tonight."

"What movie?"

Xu Lin thought Rong Xiyan might want to watch one of those trashy domestic romance movies.

But surprisingly, she said, "Avengers 5!"

"Then let's go watch it."

Xu Lin thought to himself that he had already seen it, but obviously couldn't say that.

"I heard the movie has grand scenes, the kind you guys like to watch."

Rong Xiyan said, linking arms with Xu Lin as they headed out.

"If the scenes are grand, it's worth watching."

More accurately, the special effects are worth it. Now, even Hollywood blockbusters have hit a plateau, becoming less appealing to Xu Lin.

The world has entered a downward artistic period.

If Xu Lin wanted to make a movie, he could use his creation model to produce an epic special effects film, surpassing any multi-billion-dollar production.

After having a satisfying dinner outside, they went to a nearby cinema to watch an IMAX 3D film.

They sat in the middle of the back section.

All the good seats in the front were already taken.

But unlike Yu Xinyan, who would just lean on Xu Lin's shoulder,

Rong Xiyan directly sat on Xu Lin's lap.

"This feels more comfortable!"

Rong Xiyan remarked.

"You're comfy, but I'm not."

Xu Lin was squashed. Although her weight wasn't really an issue, the cinema's massage seats were uncomfortable, and having someone sitting on him didn't make it better, especially since Rong Xiyan wasn't one of those petite girls around 160 cm, making it even harder for Xu Lin to sit comfortably.

"I don't care; it feels secure this way. Plus, I haven't seen you for so long, it's like you disappeared, you heartless guy!"

Rong Xiyan's tone was both teasing and reproachful.

"I'm just joking, you sit as you like."

Xu Lin held her with both arms from behind, making Rong Xiyan feel a bit more secure.

"Have some milk tea."

Rong Xiyan offered, holding a cup of milk tea and bringing the straw to Xu Lin's mouth.

With the weather cold, the pearl milk tea was heated up.

Xu Lin took a sip and nodded toward the big screen, "The movie's starting."

"Mmm-hmm."
